45th Bishop of Rome and Patriarch of all the West.
Our participation in the Body and Blood of Christ has no other end than to make us that which we eat.
Why is it that any discussion of the synod devolves into a debate on homosexuality?
Why would it be the end of the world if there is development of this issue? What's the fear?
Cardinal Burke: "I think that this has contributed to a loss of priestly vocations. It requires a certain manly discipline to serve as an altar boy in service at the side of priest."
That lace and booties just scream manly discipline!

Francis is the Pope of Catholics. Are you on board with that or are you still under the delusion that you know better than Peter?

Islam isn't evil. Individuals who use religion as a motivation to hurt people are evil. Christianity is not without that type of people.

The Vatican CAN'T be infiltrated. The Church is built on ROCK. Peter is that rock and Francis is his successor. If the Vatican has been infiltrated then Jesus' promise has failed. It's far more likely that YOU are wrong.
So, the RadTrads think that they can substitute their own wishes and desires, their own logic and reasoning for that of the Church. The Pope and his magisterium is the authentic interpreter of scripture and tradition. To assert that Francis is getting it wrong is error.
Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth. Genesis 9:16 NIV
Cardinal Scola added, “I learned that ‘the pope is the pope,’ to whom the Catholic believer owes affection, respect and obedience, since he is the visible sign and secure guarantor of the unity of the church in the following of Christ.”
Sins against the flesh are seen as a thousand times more serious than sins against charity. That's strange given that the only commandment that Jesus gave us was to love.

Since when have Catholics been able to pick and choose which councils they accept and which they reject. Those who do sound more protestant than catholic.
